I am re-nominating this article for featured list because the first nomination failed more so due to lack of eyes and editors voicing their support of it, then it not actually failing to meet FL requirements. Still, since the first nomination, the page has expanded some and is still a worthy addition to be named a featured list. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:00, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • No need for the "all" (last sentence, first para in lead) since you wrote that the series (which would indicate its entirety) received critical commentary.
    • "all" is needed because we are shifting to talk about each individual ones since we mention only the broadcast ones previously in that sentence.
  • Also, do we know what those commentaries have said? Have the series received favorably? unfavorable? mixed?
    • We only list aggregate scores on this article. Strong implies favorable.
  • Netflix is in the streaming market and not part of television, so remove the 2015 in American television link.
    • The link goes to the subsection on television programs of that article, which covers all series produced in that year, including on streaming sites such as Netflix and Amazon.
  • Why have a laundry list first and then explain who plays who in the next paragraph? You should merge both paras for a better flow.
  • "puts together" should change to "assembled" (second subsection; first para)
    •  Done
  • "who play a significant role" and is? (second subsection; second para)
  • " introduces the concept of" – should be in past-tense tone (second subsection; second para)
    • References to TV shows, characters, and concepts should always be in the present tense, per WP:TVNOW.
  • I've never seen any of these shows so bare with me, who and what is the "top bidder"? (third subsection; first para)
    • Clarified.
  • Why was the series canceled? (third subsection; second para)
    • This isn't known, only that it was. It is assumed because of its low ratings.
  • The last para in the third subsection should be in past-tense
  • You give a date of October 2013, any update on that? (fifth subsection)
  • Watch out for overlinking (fifth subsection)
  • Too many instances with the word Jessica Jones, needs variety (title character, same name, etc)
  • Inconsistencies with initialization (Iron Fist subsection) – jona ✉ 15:19, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Can you please be more specific to where you mean for the last three bullets?
    • I have answered your bullets above. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:41, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • There is WP:OVERLINK problems in the fifth subsection (Frank Castle / Punisher is linked twice), there are way too many instanced with the word "Jessica Jones" itself (you can use the two suggestions I gave above), and with Iron Fist you give Iron Fist and then Iron Fist (I know that the title character does not apply, but when you say "Iron Fist series" it does). Hope that explains it for you – jona ✉ 18:25, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Review by PresN

Lets see if we can keep this from being archived again.

  • "and the crossover miniseries Marvel's The Defenders in 2017, and Marvel's The Punisher." - The Punisher when? 2017?
    • Fixed.
  • "By September 2013, Marvel was developing a series [...] and in January 2014, was confirmed to be in development" - Marvel was confirmed?
    • Fixed.
  • I'm not comfortable with the Characters key linking out to Talk:List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series/FAQ. That information should be in this header box
    • I personally felt as it was was okay, but I have moved the necessary info to the box, while still keeping the FAQ link, since that discuss it more in depth.
  • That's... it, actually. I find the format of the series descriptions sections a little awkward, but I can't think of a better way to split in-universe and out-of-universe descriptions without a ton of micro-sections.
Source review
  • Formatting: Thank you for archiving everything! Though ref 2 is broken- missing a c in archiveurl.
    • Fixed.
  • Spotchecks: ref 125 has a "[better source needed]" tag on it. Don't know why, though, it's Marvel.com. Checked refs 24, 41, 88, 134; all clean
    • The reason this has the "better source needed" tag is because it is announcing the cast members who were appearing at Marvel's SDCC panel to discuss the upcoming season, but that does not necessarily mean that they are in the season. (It's a bit WP:SYNTH-y, because someone on the panel may not actually end up appearing in the season.) Yes, all of these actors are indeed appearing in the upcoming season, but it would be better for referencing to use a source like ref 8 that gives the fourth season synopsis and actors in the season. That source should be releasing within the month. I'm fine, if you're fine, doing two things: leaving as is, or removing these actors until that source I described is released.
  • Completeness: Not seeing anything missing.

Couple tiny things to fix before passing the sr. --PresN 17:07, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@PresN: Thanks so much. I've responded above to each point. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:48, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
